    In April 2007, when Santa Rose comes out, I would like a T61 or whatever with a 14" IPS display, Core 2 Duo, N type wireless. I'd like it to have a card reader, be about an inch thin. I'd like it under 5 lbs. I hope Intel's new integrated graphics are better, but still as low power as the current ones so I get decent battery life. Make it under 1200 dollars thanks!

    That is a large amount of wishful thinking. However, if it comes true the T61 will be the best selling laptop ever!!!!

    All I want for Xmas is my z61t which I ordered on November 10. Santa Lenovo must be punishing me for not having been good enough. :( :( :(

    They may as well put an IPS on the 14". There is a demand (well atleast on this forum - bias ofcourse).

    It doesn't exist at present or so people say (LG et al. don't make a 14 IPS) though I haven't checked extensively. Still my wish...

    Perhaps I'm a bit confused...is IPS the same as the glossy style screen that many other laptops are now converting to? If it is, doesn't Dell have one on their 14" widescreen? Is that not what we're talking about here?

    November 10! Man, you must have been naughty! Have you emailed or called them; what is the hold up?

    Various delays for 1GB RAM chips and the z-series shells have been messing with lots of orders. And Lenovo has been less than forthcoming with giving accurate info. Read all about it here:

    I can understand the z-shells as that is an item strictly for a Lenovo, but 1GB RAM chips? I haven't read there is an overall problem in the industry...is it just that Lenovo wants only a specific (I guess read that as cheap) brand?

    No, not at all the same. Also, what people are really talking about when they say IPS and T60 is S-IPS. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-IPS#IPS

    No. IPS is inline plane switching a type of LCD, that has better color reproduction (as a rule) than normal TN (95% of laptops) or MVA/PVA.
